Modelon and SimetrixDT Expand Access to Data Center Simulation in Australia and New Zealand
The data center industry across Australia and New Zealand is entering a period of rapid growth. As AI adoption accelerates, power densities rise, and sustainability requirements become more demanding, operators and engineering teams face increasing pressure to design, validate, and optimize facilities faster than ever before.
To meet these challenges, simulation is becoming an essential engineering capability. High-fidelity system simulation and digital twin technologies allow teams to evaluate scenarios, test operating strategies, and identify potential issues before changes are made in the real world. The result is better-informed decisions, reduced risk, and improved operational efficiency throughout the data center lifecycle.
The Growing Need for Simulation in Data Centers
Modern data centers are increasingly complex systems where cooling, power, controls, and operational strategies must work together seamlessly. When facilities scale to support AI workloads, engineering teams are tasked with balancing reliability, performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability goals.
Traditional approaches often rely on physical testing or analysis late in the design process. Simulation enables teams to explore alternatives earlier, understand system behavior under varying conditions, and make decisions with greater confidence.
By leveraging digital twins and transient system simulation, organizations can:
- Validate designs before deployment
- Evaluate cooling and thermal management strategies
- Optimize system performance and energy consumption
- Improve operational planning and resiliency
- Reduce engineering risk and development costs
The value of simulation extends beyond design. Engineering teams can use the same models throughout commissioning and operations to validate control strategies, test responses to changing conditions, and support ongoing optimization of facility performance.
Expanding Access to Simulation Across ANZ
To help organizations across Australia and New Zealand benefit from these capabilities, Modelon has entered a value-added reseller agreement with Simetrix Digital Technologies (SimetrixDT).
Through the partnership, SimetrixDT will offer Modelon’s complete portfolio of system simulation solutions, including Modelon Impact and Modelon’s Data Center Library which provides validated models for data center cooling, thermal management, and infrastructure systems. Together, the companies will focus on helping regional engineering teams and data center operators adopt advanced simulation workflows that support better design and operational decisions.
The partnership combines Modelon’s expertise in system modeling and simulation with SimetrixDT’s experience delivering digital engineering solutions across critical infrastructure sectors.
Accelerating Engineering Decisions with AI-Assisted Workflows
With engineering teams face increasing complexity, simulation tools must become easier to use and more accessible to a broader group of stakeholders.
Modelon Impact addresses this need through a cloud-native environment that enables teams to collaborate, build models, run simulations, and analyze results in a single platform. AI-assisted capabilities further help engineers navigate complex systems and accelerate decision-making.
” I am specifically excited to deliver to our customers Modelon Impact’s agentic AI capabilities. They are game-changers for engineering teams that need faster, more reliable decision support,” said Raghav Garg, Head of Scale & Partnerships at SimetrixDT.
Supporting the Future of Data Center Infrastructure
The ANZ region continues to invest heavily in digital infrastructure, creating new opportunities for innovation in data center design and operation. As facilities become larger and more complex, simulation is expected to play an increasingly important role in helping organizations achieve performance, reliability, and sustainability objectives.
” We are thrilled to extend the channels for Modelon Impact and its industry-validated Data Center Library,” said Pieter Dermont, Chief Revenue Officer at Modelon. “Through SimetrixDT, we can bring advanced simulation capabilities and trusted customer support to more organizations across the region.”
By combining simulation-driven engineering, digital twin technologies, and AI-assisted workflows, Modelon and SimetrixDT aim to help data center teams across Australia and New Zealand design, operate, and optimize infrastructure with greater confidence.
